Well, when is "it's still early" is it "still early"? I am about to give up and just leave the league. I can't stomach this much more.

Now I am getting smoked AGAIN by the last place team...a manager who has not been online since April!

I know the WW sucks but I am throwing it out there.

H2H mixed, 12 teams daily moves
Must always have 2 bench active, no more-no less
R, H, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, TB, A, FPCT, AVG, OPS, OFA

ROSTER
C Carlos Ruiz (Phi - C)
1B Adrian Gonzalez (Bos - 1B,OF)
2B Omar Infante (Mia - 2B)
3B Edwin Encarnacion (Tor - 1B,3B)
SS Elvis Andrus (Tex - SS)
OF Shane Victorino (Phi - OF)
OF Melky Cabrera (SF - OF)
OF Matt Holliday (StL - OF)
Util Matt Joyce (TB - OF)

BN Nick Swisher (NYY - 1B,OF)
BN Howie Kendrick (LAA - 1B,2B,OF)
DL Jayson Werth (Was - OF)
DL Evan Longoria (TB - 3B)

WW
Trevor Plouffe (Min - 2B,3B,SS,OF)
Michael Saunders (Sea - OF)
Lucas Duda (NYM - 1B,OF)
Colby Rasmus (Tor - OF)
Jason Kubel (Ari - OF)
Jose Altuve (Hou - 2B)
Rickie Weeks (Mil - 2B)
Dustin Ackley (Sea - 2B)
Gordon Beckham (CWS - 2B)
Dee Gordon (LAD - SS)
Ian Desmond (Was - SS)
Justin Smoak (Sea - 1B)
Bryan LaHair (ChC - 1B,OF)
Russell Martin (NYY - C)

Infante hasn't been good in a few weeks, lose him for Plouffe...

What about Joyce? I think I drop him for Rasmus.

And what about replacing my MIs?

3B Edwin Encarnacion (Tor - 1B,3B)
SS Elvis Andrus (Tex - SS)
or
Howie Kendrick (LAA - 1B,2B,OF)

with

Jose Altuve (Hou - 2B)
Ian Desmond (Was - SS)

Altuve over Kendrick... Joyce for Rasmus...

Hmm...why keep Andrus over Ian Desmond?

And do you think Kendrick will eventually come around and break out? He is the better player of the bunch right?

Altuve is a .300 hitter with 10 homer/25 steals... Kendrick is a 15 homer/15 steal/.280 hitter... Neither is better, they're different... Altuve is actually hitting, Kendrick is not...

And keep Andrus over Ian Desmond?

Grey, what do you say about this analysis?

C - Low-end starter in Ruiz, but a starter, and better than WW Martin.
1B - Low-end starter in Gonzalez, but a starter, and better than Duda, Smoak, LaHair
2B - Mid-level starters in Infante and Kendrick, and better than Plouffe and Altuve and Beckham and Ackley
3B - Mid-level starter in Encarnacion, and Longoria is a decent backup when healthy
SS - Top-level starter in Andrus, better than Desmond (though Desmond is also worthy of a starting spot), and Gordon.
OF - #1 starter in VIctorino, and two #2s in Holliday and Cabrera, and Util Joyce is a #3 starter. Kubel or Rasmus are decent upgrades over Werth or Joyce. But Worth is still on DL.

Basically I am low-end at C and 1B, but otherwise in decent shape on paper at least. Of the free agents, Desmond and Kubel or Rasmus are upgrades over Kendrick and Werth or Joyce, but nothing major needed other than patience.

Andrus over Desmond... I have no idea what this analysis is regarding...
